Comment 11 for bug 615033

I apologize in advance for subscribing Colin Watson but I think this will save everyone, including Colin, time dealing with the new ubiquity.

I think this bug should largely be marked "fix released" with two small caveats.

1) There is still no option to NOT install grub. I personally think that's OK because it should be OK to install grub to whatever partition contains "/boot". That is, if you have no separate /boot it could be installed to "/", or if you do have a separate "/boot" it could be installed to either "/" or "/boot". While this is "different" behavior for Ubuntu it's certainly not uncommon in Linux in general :^)

2) I've found that even in Lucid's ubiquity that "grub-install" options during install include options with a "-" in the device designation. EG: /dev/sda-1 or /dev/sdb-1, I've never seen anything with a "-" followed by anything buit "1". There have been many questions about that so it should be addressed.

Otherwise this should be considered "Fix Released".

Apologies to Colin again. I'd even tried #grub on IRC before deciding to subscribe you.
